New Covers? What the...?

New covers? What the...? 

Some of you have seen/heard me talking about Obsidian's new cover and there's been a lot of questions about why and how that effects the cover continuity of the series. I know, I know, the bane of a book lover's existence, besides dog eared pages, is a change up in covers, but it happens.

The main reason is that Obsidian is getting re-released in mass market on April 2012 and a new cover was in the works for that new release. It will be the standard size of YA paperback. And no, I really don't know what that size is. The new print copy and ONLY that print copy will include two more scenes from Daemon's POV at the end plus the new cover.

Does the cover still have Daemon on it? Of course. Is it the same image as before? No. Do I like it? No. I love it.

Does this mean that Onyx is getting an overhaul? Yes. Because the wonderful peeps over at Entangled want ALL the covers, including Shadows, to match. So Onyx will also be getting a new look.

I don't know when the cover will be showed at this time.  Probably soon-ish. But in the meanwhile, here is a tease of the new cover.



Hope this clears up any confusion.

    At least their redoing all of the covers. Most copies won't do that. They just change the new cover and don't touch the others.
